Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 774 Under the sun...

"Well...since I have the king's approval, I will not force myself to make arrangements. I will just do as the imperial master said."

After Wang Jian pondered for a while, he chose to accept Gu Xun's arrangement. After all, this was what King Qin wanted.

However, he will still make other arrangements secretly, just in case, the life of the eldest son Fusu is not a joke.

Gu Xun smiled and said, "In the next period of time, Mr. Fusu will have to worry more about the general."

"It's just your duty as a minister. I'm sorry, Imperial Master." Wang Jian replied with a wave of his hand.

Gu Xun then asked, "I wonder how the plan to alienate Li Mu is going?"

This matter is considered top-secret military information, but there is no need to keep it secret for the eldest son Fusu and Gu Xun. Wang Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled, and answered bluntly:
  "Everything went smoothly, but under the rumors spread by both the government and the public, Zhao Wangqian has completely lost trust in Li Mu."

"In recent days, Zhao Wangqian has issued many orders urging Li Mu to take the initiative to relieve Zhao's danger as soon as possible. Unfortunately... Li Mu is powerless against this order."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but turn his head and look across the tent in the direction of Jingxing Pass, where Shepherd Li was now.

"Li Mu... I'm afraid he will be eliminated and replaced soon."

Wang Jian's tone was rather sad.

He has been in the army for more than ten years, and there are few generals in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. Li Mu can be said to be his biggest and only opponent.

However, a generation of military gods could not die on the battlefield in the end. It was undoubtedly sad to end with the suspicion of the master.

Of course, it's a sigh of relief, but Wang Jian was not vague about his actions.

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "General Wang, do you think Li Mu will obediently obey Zhao Wangqian's orders?"

Li Mu is not Yue Fei. His purpose is only to protect Zhao State, not to be loyal to the royal power.

Zhao Gou's twelve gold medals could call Yue Fei back to die obediently, but Zhao Wangqian, even if he came to the front line in person, all he could get was a loss of his life.

Wang Jian turned his head again when he heard this, with a faint smile on his rough and weathered face, and shook his head, "If he is ordered, the State of Zhao will perish. If he is not ordered, the State of Zhao will also perish, and it will be faster."

"What's the big deal?"

Not accepting the king's order will only completely irritate the suspicious Zhao Wangqian who is already terminally ill and cannot tolerate him anymore. What awaits him then will not be dismissed from his post, but beheaded.

And Zhao Guo, who completely lost Li Mu, was undoubtedly equivalent to losing the last hope of struggle.

Gu Xun didn't reply, shook his head silently, stood up and said, "General Wang is busy with military affairs, so I won't bother you any more."

Fusu also stood up when he saw this.

Naturally, Wang Jian had no choice but to follow him and replied, "I have arranged the resting quarters for His Royal Highness the eldest son and the Imperial Master. I will take you there right now."

Gu Xunyi raised his hand and declined politely, "I won't bother General with this trivial matter. You can just send a soldier to see it off."

Wang Jian didn't show any politeness and nodded, "That's fine."

Then Gu Xun and Fusu were led by Wang Jian's soldiers to their camp.

Needless to say, the treatment is similar to Wang Jian's handsome tent. The space is spacious, with a sofa, a couch, a desk, and a bookshelf.

Gu Xun sat down on the couch and breathed a comfortable sigh, "Oh, I'm really tired after riding a horse for almost half a month."

Fusu followed and sat down, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Although they rode very slowly, their legs were not worn out, but it was really uncomfortable to sit on the horse and sway for half a month.

Gu Xun was just tired, but Fusu was absolutely exhausted both physically and mentally.

After taking a few breaths, Gu Xun twisted his face and said to Fusu with a smile, "According to the news given by Wang Jian, it won't be long before a general offensive is launched."

"It seems you don't have to wait too long." "Well..." Fusu nodded, but did not show joy, but asked hesitantly, "Teacher, Zhao State General Li Mu was completely wronged, right? "

Gu Xun nodded subconsciously at first, and then asked sharply, "Why, are you still feeling unfair for him?"

Fusu shook his head hastily, "No, the student just... doesn't understand why King Zhao would do this, especially at this time..."

When the country is about to perish, we still have to worry about the rebellion of the generals guarding the border. Isn't this looking for death?
  Gu Xun rolled his eyes, "Isn't this normal?"

"Let's not talk about it. How many years has it been since Bai Qi died? Why did he die?"

"What did the Battle of Handan have to do with him? Why did he bear all the blame for the defeat in the end and was killed on the grounds of being 'unsatisfied and unconvinced'?"

"Besides, Zhao Guo, they haven't learned from their mistakes for a long time. What was the outcome of the Battle of Changping?"

"Is there a big difference between Li Mu at this moment and Lian Po at that moment?"

"The relationship between monarch and ministers is often so unpredictable. For emperors, guarding against internal ministers is often more important than guarding against foreign aggression."

"But... isn't King Zhao's move bringing about his own destruction?" Fusu still didn't quite understand.

Gu Xun smiled when he heard this and said, "Fusu, remember, the same situation looks different to different people. Even if some perceptions seem ridiculous to you, they are simply not something that a human mind can come up with. Yes, there are always people who think so."

"Moreover, this situation does not depend on the status of the person."

Speaking of this, Gu Xun curled his lips contemptuously and said sarcastically, "Perhaps in Zhao Wangqian's opinion, the reason why the Qin army has not been able to break through Li Mu's defense line for so long is not because Li Mu is too strong, but because the Qin army is not. So?"

"If Li Mu can fight, then the other so-called generals of Zhao State can also fight. Maybe if they change, they can defeat the Qin army faster."

"Ah...this..."

If Zhao Wangqian really thinks so... then it seems understandable, but...

Gu Xun's previous words popped up subconsciously in Fusu's mind - is this really a conclusion that the human mind can come up with?
  Gu Xun then gave him another example:

"Do you know Han Wangan?"

"Li Mu repulsed the Qin army twice before, and he even gave that guy the illusion that the Qin army was not as strong as this, and tried to turn to Zhao to counter Qin."

"I don't even think about it. What does Zhao's ability to repel the Qin army have to do with South Korea? Can he still expect Zhao Jun to come to rescue him at all costs when South Korea is in danger?"

After hearing this, Fusu immediately felt that South Korea's death was truly a loss.

Gu Xun continued, "Let me tell you, the gap between this man and a human is sometimes greater than the gap between a man and a pig. These are normal circumstances."

"Besides, this is an out-and-out good thing for you and the State of Qin."

"If the kings of the six kingdoms of Shandong are normal people, and your father wants to destroy the six kingdoms, it will be troublesome to unify the world first."

Fusu thought about it and said with complicated meaning, "This... what the teacher said is correct."

Gu Xun stood up and shook the hem of his clothes, "Okay, you can rest. I'm going back to my tent."

"If you have nothing to do these days, you might as well walk around the camp more."

"You don't need to learn how to arrange troops and deploy troops. However, it is good to be familiar with the structure of the army and understand the status of your Qin State's officers at all levels and lower-level soldiers."

"Anyway, idle is idle."

Fusu nodded quickly, "Student understands."

　I won’t cultivate immortality anymore, so that’s it, see you tomorrow.
